North Fork Beach

This is the orignal version, taken with the iPhone 4S, and using a pro HDR app. I held the camera steady, as two photos were taken, then combined. Normally, if you point a camera into the sun, only the sky would show, all else lost in shadows. When the phone snapped the lower half of this scene, the sky was blown out. By combining the two, a very vivid effect is achieved. I added warmth and increased saturation to add to the magical effect.
